Children from Joseph Baker and first wife, Lucy Amelia Pack:

Joseph and his friend David Rowe were walking on the Rail Road track by the Rocky Point north of Mendon,the wind was blowing so hard they did not hear the train coming and was picked up by the cow catcher and pitched to one side. Lindon was killed instantly. His friend David recovered from the accident.

Note: One of the entries LeeAnn read indicated that after the death of George Eaton Baker, Lucy's youngest son, she became sick and never fully recovered. They record the death as 10 Aug 1873 for George Eaton Baker, I believe this should be the death date of Ward Eaton Baker.

Children from Joseph Baker and second wife, Mary Alice Morgan:

Mary Alice Morgan was sister to Elizabeth Morgan, my Great Grandmother. When Elizabeth died from kidney failure she asked her sister, Mary, to raise my Great Grandmother Mary Geneva, who at that time was just 7 days old.
